Hi everyone,

I've been trying for some days now to make a multiboot with OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7. After unsuccesful attemps to install from the retail DVD (with some modifications), I've came across the iATKOS S3 V2 DVD. I've downloaded it and tried to install it. When installing, I have my installation log open and it says the following:

The installer repeats this 3 times and then it gives an error that OS X cannot be installed. I've already tried burning 3 times again, 2 times from Windows and one time from a (virtual machine) mac (burn .iso to dvd) but it doesn't help. I've also tried booting with maxmem=2048 and -v cpus=1 buratio=20 but that alo doesn't help.

I've verified the MD5 checksum and they don't match , I've already downloaded it twice. Could that be the problem? Should I download it from another mirror or another version?

I'm installing OS X on a MBR partion on a HP DV6825 notebook. I've installed iAKTOS v7 once on this notebook, but now I need to upgrade (I'm Apple developer and Xcode don't support < 10.6.0 so I have to upgrade).

Update!

It's working !!! I've downloaded another version of iATKOS and now the MD5's matches. I had to reinstall it about 5 times because the laptop keyboard and mouse weren't working correct. I've installed with:

-> Chameleon RC4 bootloader

-> all USB fixes (NOT the one from patches, when I selected no USB fix, my laptop keyboard wasn't working, when I selected both, I got a kernel panic)

-> sleep enabler

-> graphics enabler

-> broadcom wireless driver

-> 32-bit boot

Everything is working correct for me. The only problem is sleep modus. When I select sleep from the top bar, the power won't go off. Instead, I get a black screen and I have to restart the laptop manually. Anyone has a solution?

For a proper sleep function, you have to use native appleintelpowermanagement, built-in usb etc.

Since you have a Snow Leopard running, I recommend you create a retail usb installation disk and go with a clean, as vanilla as possible solution.
By doing so, you will gain the control of your machine as you can know which kexts your machine needs to run.

Sleepenabler may cause a problem when upgrading to the 10.6.4 so make sure that you copy a Sleepenabler compatible with the 10.6.4 right after the update and before rebooting to Extra folder.

i also have the iAtkos s3 v2 dvd..the same problem of intel.pkg input output error..

i checked the md5 checksum and its matching. .... i even burned it slowly..around 2.4x...but the setup runs from start to end very slowly and the log always shows 3 tries of the input output error then fails
